Yeah but nobody's ever been sued for these sort of things in Canada.
CRIA even went on record saying they like things the way they are, that they just collect on CDs. (I believe they do collect on DVDs as well that pretty much means I'm going to download movies too because I've pretty much paid for them)
~1$ a CD (else I can't see why a CD and two DVDs both sell for 1$.) is worth it to me for a bunch of songs, don't you think?
Well, that's probably more related to the fact that I don't think Sony ever published games itself. Nintendo is a mongrel of a games publisher, reason why it often, sadly, kills scores of good 3rd party games.
No, they did quite well all around... I'm wondering how many Xbox sales were for XBMC? And how many PS2s went unsold and were for sale now?
It could have gotten #1, but I think the problems were mainly due to piracy... And sadly it's a double-edged sword.
I can't find most of those classic gamecube games. I found a lot. But games like Tales of Symphonia, Luigi's Mansion, Double Dash, Metroid Prime, etc. I have to borrow, and games like RE4, MGS: TS, ED, and Ikaruga (along with the original pikmin) can't be found anywhere easily enough. And I fear it'll just get worse with the Wii, if only because I can't even find one anywhere. =/
To buy them all would be VERY costly and very difficult. I hate to say it but I'd rather download/trade these games, and be able to "pirate" them, if only to give the developpers a chance of respect in my eyes, to maybe make me want to buy the sequel. (as was the case with Tales of Symphonia, 6 of us played Tales of Symphonia for GC, we're all planning on buying the Wii version)
For the sake of preservation, I'm sure there's got to be someone out there with a copy and close to an OCR device. Either that or it's sitting around in the belly of the internet, along with every other book (and a clockwork orange of course).
It's a shame to see books out of print. Wasn't there a startup that designed and started selling these printers intended to print out books at a time for libraries and such, as a sort of on-demand-printing for them to make some money? Sort of like Lulu.com but this one is decentralised and local.
Ahmadinejad, as much as we hate him, is actually quite intelligent.
According to Glen Beck he got a PHD in a US university, possibly Harvard. He's no moron and hasn't taken an aggressive stance towards anything. He's doubtful about things like the holocaust, possibly to apease someone, but he doesn't seem to dwaddle past neutral.
If you want true evil look at the man running the show, the "supreme ruler".
There is no fibre running to all ends of the US, wide enough and accessible enough, to be able to speed up everybody's connection affordably.
It's a giant country and sparsely inhabited. It's not like Canada, sure we're ~3/km, but 90% of the population lives 300km from the US border, and follows a more-or-less straight so laying down useful fibre isn't hard at all. You've just got to wire up a city and cross over to Verizon's networks, or do a Halifax-Vancouver "tubes highway".
I've heard about those build-your-own antennas, the kind made out of coathangers... Do those even work? From what I hear they take out a lot of the problems you get with the big yagi-style ones.
And yeah not many DTV stations... But around here I'm sure there's even less analogue stations. At least with DTV it's often done in 720p/1080i + 7.1, or at 480p/5.1 at the worst. I don't have a 7.1/5.1 set but it's nice to see it there if/when I do get one...
It's almost better than my cable package, if it wasn't for the fact that I only get CBC and PBS; I was really hoping for more stations than that... (oh, and note to futureselves: cancel digital plans with rogers... 60$/mo and all I get extra are music channels and channels 70-120? no thanks.)
Bring me back in time and allow me to witness it then.
Or give me written records.
Science is about the understanding of the situation, the pursuit of knowledge. The more eyes, less bugs, etc. By having more theories you get better results.
She's claiming she just wants the debates to happen should they arise. So no hushing up those who might have a different take on creation (my personal belief is that we all evolved from donughts).
Yeah, but where did it come from to "just happen"?
I'm not denying "evolution". Things change. That means evolution works. Nobody sane can deny that.
But to go out and outright start insulting people based on their beliefs is where I and countless others take offense. It's my belief. Takes your asshole attitude elsewhere. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it.
And right now it doesn't look like you have anything nice to say. So shut up and post on topic for once.
I love how I'm modded flamebait yet the parent's GP was being an asshole to somebody who corrected the OP of the thread, that Sarah Palin isn't opposed to evolution as being the real "origin", but that kids need to be allowed to explore all beliefs, to make their own opinions, and be encouraged to make choices.
Otherwise you're just being a typical asshole teacher/principal, who just wants their student to give them the answer they expect, not the real answer. Think while you still can.
That's nothing new though. I realise not everybody was on the ITX scene before intel landed its fat ass squarely 50km in the wrong direction, but soldered CPUs are nothing new.
I think all the C3, C7, Geode, and now Nano boards have the CPU soldered. They've always had to support pretty much everything, sometimes in tiny packages where everything is in just two parts (see: VX700/VX800).
PicoITX is an interesting standard, especially if it can be brought down in price or start shipping with the Nano. NanoITX was interesting and likely going to be very sweet for set top boxes, if only because you get more room for inputs/outputs and more room to dissipate heat. I've got my eyes on mobileITX though, now THAT's miniature!
MiniITX boards need to drop in price and fast though. Intel got this part, but really only this part, right. Atom miniITX boards sell for 69$-79$ at retail. For OEMs I suspect the 945G boards sell for 50$-60$, and likely the mobile variants sell for about the same (those chipsets seem to be hard to produce in low-power versions).
I was thinking about it for a long time, upgrading all my computers. It's about time. They're a Pentium 2 450MHz with 384MB of RAM, a Celeron 500MHz with 192MB of RAM, a Pentium 2 266, and a Cyrix 6x86 packing 64MB of EDO RAM. When Nano is released for retail I'll bite the bullet and replace all my stuff with miniITX parts. The price is minimal, they produce little heat (natural gas is probably cheaper in the long run... even if we're in the coldest capital of the world, it gets very hot in the summer. only the P450 outputs heat, and it's mild.) and so I figure the 10W of heat I'd get from the old towers won't be missed in summertime.
They're very capable. It's Core Duo performance. With 1GB or even 2GB of RAM, and room for a PCIEx16 slot with the CN896 and a compactflash card/SSD (I'm planning for a NAS), I think it'd be the last upgrade I'll ever do.
And I'm sure I'm not alone. I might just buy an eeebox, because at less than 300$ it fits the bill almost perfectly.

Well, have you tried the butthole of the internet? They get a lot of stuff washing up on their shores...
The only problem with Nintendo's methodology is that they don't want shit games.
When Sony opened the floodgates you got all the shovelware games. Haven't you noticed that?
No, they did quite well all around... I'm wondering how many Xbox sales were for XBMC? And how many PS2s went unsold and were for sale now?

Is anybody else having problems with this site's horrible layout?
There's some sort of option to log in with an ad in a column blocking a large chunk of the text...
Idiots. This is not how you design a web page, ever.
Well, considering 1920 to 1970 was a silent period for hurricanes, the increased hurricanes are probably nothing new to mother earth.
The lime idea makes a lot of sense, if only because it makes it a sort of logical explanation as to why the lime is there in the first place...
(as a side note, ten bucks says fry hopped back in the time machine and made sure we'd have enough lime)
South Africa disarmed its nuclear arsenal. And aren't Israel's nukes just US ones?
And really, when everybody else has nukes, wouldn't you like to have a few yourself? That's "their" thinking, and likely to stay that way sadly...

India? Stable?
Say hello to india's neighbours.
And one of the only countries to get into a nuclear standoff where they were ready to blow each other to bits (US vs USSR would have never happened).
Allowing India into the nuclear market... Was not a smart idea if only because the situation there is still unclear.
There is no fibre running to all ends of the US, wide enough and accessible enough, to be able to speed up everybody's connection affordably.

Don't just stop at flashblock.
Block all the ad servers in your /etc/hosts
Because plopping down fibre in a neighbourhood or city just like that is so useful isn't it?
MPEG2 works for everyone.
I don't have a computer capable of doing h.264 at 1080i/720p. ATSC works for everyone.
(any reccomendations for antennas, by the way?)

Oh wow, OSX and iLife, I'm terrified now!
You really have me beat! I'm sure I can't think of a superior combination now!
Something like Linux maybe? You know that extra 600$ from a few people makes a sizeable bribe that's a one-shot thing.
She never said it's their job.
She's claiming she just wants the debates to happen should they arise. So no hushing up those who might have a different take on creation (my personal belief is that we all evolved from donughts).
It's cheap now, because your dollar is not that great, it's close to where they are, and the people are trained/educated. So why not?
if Apple products are NOT so awesome, tell me why their customer satisfaction ratings simply blow away all others.
OMG is that the macbook air??!? I so want it!!! It's so gorgeous!!! Mac is so pretty!!
Yeah, but where did it come from to "just happen"?

Reason why I mentioned ATI GPU and IBM CPU is because of patent issues that would mean the entire system could not be manufactured in the PRC...
Generally what OEM means in this case...
You do realise a 600$ Dell is about the same as a 1100$ Apple don't you?
